In the image, two men are depicted from the mid-thigh up. The man on the left is standing with his body angled slightly toward the older man seated. His head is bent forward and he is holding a sheet of paper up to his face. His hair is dark and short. He is dressed in a suit and appears to be inspecting a sheet of paper. The seated older man has glasses and wears a bow tie with his suit. His hair is lighter and appears thinner. He is positioned in front of a ticker tape machine, and his hands are moving the scroll of ticker tape. In the background, an American flag with an eagle finial is visible. The room appears formal, with no other objects visible around them.
